1.4 Identifying Sun Blade X6450 Server
Module Revisions
The Sun Blade X6450 server module has two motherboard (MB) revisions (revision 1
and revision 2). Some optional hardware components, such as a SSD and low voltage
DIMMs, work with revision 2 MB only, and some procedures in this manual are
specific to revision 2 motherboards. Before performing a revision 2 specific
procedure, or installing optional components, you need to determine the revision of
your server module. This section describes how to identify your server module’s MB
revision.
You have the following options for determining the revision level of your server
module:
■
Physically check the MB
■
Use ELOM or ILOM (web interface or CLI)

To Identify MB Revision Using a Hardware
Check
1. Power off the server module, and remove the server module from the chassis
(see “To Remove the Server Module From the Chassis” on page 3-13 ).
Caution – Possible chassis shutdown. Do not operate the system with empty slots.
Always insert a filler into an empty slot to reduce the possibility of module
shutdown.
2. Remove the main cover as described in “To Remove the Main Cover” on
page 3-15 .
